Got a dwarven child which just got possessed, didn't know that was possible, is this good or bad?  will it be a good or bad artifact?

[Sutremaine]

It might be valuble, but it'll be useless. Children don't have moodable skills unless you cheat, so they default to crafts and other things that are pretty and valuble but only good as kobold bait.

Double post fail.

Ninjaed.

The child will grow up to be a legendary wood/bone/stone crafted though, which depending on age of fort, can be kinda useful.

Says the guy with 4 legendary children....

i jsut made a statue garden with 250 statues in it, is this adequate or should i expand it further?

Pretty impressive 

...

No, not enough. You still have hundreds of thousands of unstatued rocks down there. Do something about it.

i have several hundred statues because i had all my masons on repeat and i am contemplating expanding it for that exact reason, i asked my question in the wrong way, will making a 700 statue statue garden( or a few 200 ish ones) increase their happiness, liek is the happy though based off amount of statues or just them being there?

Not with a possession though.

And imo, woodcrafters are never useful. All you can do with them is make crafts. Since all wood is value 1 and there are several useful items that can only be made from wood, it's much better to keep wood back for those things.

How do you capture aquatic animals?

I've been wanting to capture some carp from the river, and fill my moat with them, but I don't know how to capture them.

Wooden bolts. If you have the legendary woodcrafter, why not put him to use? Alternatively, brand new soldier.

Dig a channel near the river, but don't connect it to the river.  Build a bunch of cage traps in it.  Build a floodgate at the end of the channel nearest the river.  Connect the floodgate to a lever.  Channel from the other side of the floodgate to the river.  Open the floodgate and let water flow into your trapped channel.  Wait and hope that carp swim across your cage traps.

Once you have the carp caged, close the floodgate.  Build a pump to pump the water out of the channel so your dwarves can retrieve the carp cages.

Oh yes, bone bolts only come in stacks of five now. It shouldn't matter due to the training / combat split between bolt types (assuming it can be made to work in .18), but if they're going to take their traning bolts out to a siege then they can at least take a larger stack.

It would be so awesome if you could take 15 bones and turn them into 75 bolts. I kept camels where I could in 40d just for the nice bolt stacks they made.

[Urist Imiknorris]

It was the main allure of elephant breeding for me in ye olde 40d. 80 bolts at once...

If you hit your artifact/strange mood limit, and you atom smash one of your existing artifacts, will this free up an artifact slot?

Also is the artifact limit based on population or wealth?

[Urist Imiknorris]

-No, the game will still say it exists, it just can't tell you where it is. Same if it gets stolen.
-Number of tiles mined out, along with another thing that I forget (probably wealth).
